One Lake Club, Romania

 

One Lake Club is a prestigious project promises to redefine luxury living in the Romanian capital. It aims to set new standards in urban living, offering residents an unparalleled blend of elegance, comfort, and functionality. The project encompasses a range of residential and recreational facilities, including luxury apartments, lush green spaces, and state-of-the-art amenities. With its ambitious vision and meticulous attention to detail, One Lake Club represents a beacon of modern architectural excellence in Bucharest.

As construction progresses on this ambitious venture, ensuring the structural integrity of the building is paramount. This is where Dextra’s Bartec couplers come into play. Renowned for their reliability and versatility, Bartec BF couplers provide robust connections between reinforcing bars, enhancing the strength and durability of concrete structures. In the case of the One Lake Club project, these couplers are specifically tailored for temporary opening applications, offering flexibility and efficiency in construction processes.

The 12mm Bartec BF couplers serve as the linchpin in the construction workflow, enabling seamless integration of reinforcing bars within the concrete framework. Their innovative design ensures quick and easy installation, minimizing construction time while maximizing safety and performance. By facilitating temporary openings in the concrete structure, these couplers enable efficient access for maintenance, inspection, and future modifications, thereby streamlining the construction process and ensuring long-term durability.

Uniqlo & Hive Indonesia Warehouse

 

Indonesia’s building construction has spurred a need for rapid and efficient construction methods capable of meeting the demands of a burgeoning population. Precast construction has emerged as a solution to these challenges as it helps minimize on-site labor requirements, accelerates project timelines, and ensures consistent quality.

At the heart of successful precast construction lies the seamless connection between structural elements. Dextra supplied Groutec precast couplers for projects around the world, including Indonesia. Groutec in size 20mm were used in the Uniqlo & Hive Indonesia warehouse building project for joining precast columns, facilitating rapid and reliable assembly while ensuring structural integrity.

The couplers have minimized on-site labor requirements and accelerated project milestones. This not only translates to cost savings but also ensures timely delivery, allowing the building to fulfill its intended purpose sooner. Additionally, the couplers’ high-strength steel composition and stringent quality control measures guarantee robust connections that withstand the rigors of dynamic structural loads.

Hanoi Nhật Tân Bridge

Posted on by Sir Gwi

Hanoi Nhật Tân Bridge (Vietnam – Japan Friendship Bridge)

The Nhat Than Bridge is an impressive cable-stayed bridge spanning over the Red River and located North of Hanoi. The total length of the project is 8.9 km, including the actual3.75 km bridge.

The bridge is the new gateway to Hanoi as it greatly reduces the transport time to Hanoi Noi Ban Airport, the second busiest airport of Vietnam in passengers.

The bridge was inaugurated by the Ministry of Transport of Vietnam and opened to the public on the 4th of January 2015. The bridge has since theen been renamed “Vietnam – Japan Friendship Bridge).

Dextra has been involved on the Nhat Tan bridge since the early stage of the project by supplying the popular Bartec rebar couplers, the main rebar splicing solution in Vietnam. Bartec connections were used in various part of the project: approaches, foundation piles, pile caps and approaches.

Bartec couplers make a convenient rebar splicing solution as the same standard coupler can be used for standard connection (rotating rebar into coupler) and position connection (rotating only coupler, when it is impossible to rotate rebar). Dextra supplied more than 130,000 connections in total for this project for the lifting of heavy elements.

For the temporary operations of lifting and fixing of the girder precast segments, Dextra also supplied 36 tons of high-tensile PT bars.

Jeddah Tower

Posted on by Sir Gwi

Jeddah Tower

Jeddah Tower (previously known as Kingdom Tower) is a landmark skyscraper located along the Red Sea in the North of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

The commercial building is designed to pass for the first time the 1-km mark with a total expected height of 1,008 meters, making it the tallest building in the world.

Jeddah Tower will ultimately host a 200-room Four Seasons hotel, serviced apartments, several floors of offices and an observatory. A total of 59 elevators will allow visitors to move between floors.

The tower structure has been engineered by consulting firm Thornton Tomasetti and is built by contractor Saudi Bin Laden, to which Dextra is delivering through the support of its local partner Bahra Steel.

Dextra is proud to deliver 100% of the rebar couplers on the structure, both in the foundations and the superstructure.

Two main types of rebar couplers are used on the structure:

  • For all foundation, columns and vertical connection, standard Bartec couplers are used. These allow fast connection of prefabricated cages.
  • For slab connections, special bridging couplers are also used in order to connect each leg of the U-shape rebar to a column.

The tower is still under construction, with expected completion around 2019.

Panama Metro Linea 1 & Linea 2

Posted on by Sir Gwi

Panama Metro Linea 1 & Linea 2

Panama Metro is a recently finished urban transportation system in the Panama City, capital of Panama.

Panama metro Line 1 first line started being built in 2010 and started operating in 2014. It is 16km long with part of the line undergroup, and part elevated.

Following the success of the first line, a second line has now entered construction phase and should start operation by the end of 2018.

Pier columns For this large construction project, Dextra has been involved between 2011 and 2012 (linea 1) and since 2015 (linea 2) for the structural reinforcement of the large pier columns in the elevated packages of the line.

On both lines,
Bartec coupler solution, popular in Panama, was chosen to reconnect vertically the large prefabricated cages made of #11 rebar.

To perform that application, cages are prefabricated together on the ground before being split by unscrewing couplers all on the same side. The cages are then transported to site.

Once lifted and put on top of each other, with the same bars matching the one they previously splice, the cage reconnection can then be made with the use of a standard
Bartec couplers.

AVE Palencia-Santander HSR Package 1 (Palencia – Palencia Norte) & Package 2 (Palencia Norte – Amusco)

Posted on by Sir Gwi

AVE Palencia-Santander high-speed rail project is a significant infrastructure undertaking aimed at connecting Palencia and Santander in Spain. This project involves the construction of extensive railway networks, viaducts, and bridges, underscoring the need for a strong and resilient foundation. Recognizing the critical importance of ensuring the structural integrity of the concrete piles, the project management sought advanced testing methodologies.

Dextra played a pivotal role in ensuring the robustness of the project’s foundation by supplying Sonitec Crosshole Sonic Logging (CSL) testing tubes. These tubes were instrumental in conducting comprehensive structural integrity tests on the concrete piles of AVE Palencia-Santander USR Package 1 (Palencia – Palencia Norte) and Package 2 (Palencia Norte – Amusco).

Crosshole Sonic Logging is a non-destructive testing method widely employed to assess the quality and integrity of concrete piles. It involves the use of sonic waves transmitted through the concrete between two access tubes, allowing engineers to evaluate the material’s properties and identify potential defects.

Sonitec tubes are specially designed for Crosshole Sonic Logging, ensuring precise and reliable data collection during structural integrity tests. These tubes are embedded in the concrete piles during construction, providing access points for the sonic wave transmission.
